Also known as 2017's Star Fox 2.
I just beat my first run of Star Fox 2 with Fox and Fay. Cleared everything on normal with a time of 122, Corneria took 45% damage, and I didn't use a partner continue. Netted me a "D" rating for my efforts, and it all felt surprisingly easy. Which is good because I really wanna play more of this and on the higher difficulties as well, and not just because I wanna get a better score.
This game's a really weird departure from Star Fox 1 and is also kinda awesome. The open combat arenas (hello Star Fox 64), the system overworld, the enemy pieces all moving in real time even during encounters.
I was taking out a squad of no-name ships when in the middle of the fight one of the Star Wolf aces joined in, complete with mid-fight intro, all the while the Mirage Dragon began to lay siege to Corneria. It's the sort of thing that makes me wish it wasn't a 20+ year old SNES game I was seeing these systems in, because holy crap even here it's rad and exciting and totally makes me wanna play more.
Anyone else get a chance to give this thing a spin?
